WATER-SUPPLY OR FLUSH TANK.

Application filed November 27, 1909.

To all whom 2'15 may concern:

Be it known that I, Fmnnmcn Gnons VVANGELIN, engineer, a subject of theKing of Saxony, and resident of 73 Holbeinstrasse, Dresden, Kingdom ofSaxony, German Empire, have invented a new and useful .ln'iprovement inor Relating to \Vator- Supply or Flush Tanks, of which the following isa specification.

The present invention has reference to the construction of water supplyor flush tanks such as used for instance for llushing closets especiallytanks which are provided with a tilting vessel and the novelty isespecially seen in the fact that with a flush tank provided with suchtilting vessel. the latter is divided into a small and a largecompartment by means of a partition or wall and that in connectiontherewith there are provided means arranged within the smallercompartment of the tilting vessel for regulating the water supply valvewhich vessel is filled by means 01 an oven flow from the maincompartment, the overflow taking place over the partition between thetwo compartments, and on tilting this is emptied together with the mainchamher. 'llheret'ore it need not be emptied into the main(annpartn'ient through siphon action or by means of a valve, as is thecase with flush tanks having a direct water supply.

The means used for regulating the water supply valve consists of a leverconnected to said valve and also to a diving body arranged in thesmaller compartment and regulating the water supply according to theheight of the water in said smaller compartment. The lever device usedprovides as known for a late beginning of the filling movement and ofthe closing movement of the supply valve for the lush water.

on the accompanying drawing the liush tank with a tilting vessel andtogether with means for controlling the water supply according to theinvention is shown by way of example in l-igure 1 in a longitudinalsection, in Fig. 2 in a plan-view and in Fig. 3 in a section accordingto line A l) of .l ig. l.

a is the flush tank in which the tilting vessel i) is loosely andpivotally supported by means of pins so as to easily turn or tilt. Saidtilting vessel divided by means (If a fixed partition or wall 0 into themain compartment (Z and into the smaller com- Specification of LettersPatent.

partment e. \Vithin the tilting vessel 6 the lever f controlling thewater supply valve 2' is pivotally supported by the stationary frame ofthe valve. To the one arm of the lever is connected a diving body orweight g pending into the smaller compartment c and consisting by way ofexample ol. a closed box. /zis a weight moving within the maincompartment (,Z and connected to the other arm of the lever thus beingadapted to close the supply valve.

For the purpose oi. avoiding when the vessel 7) is tilted the partitionor wall 0 forming a hindrance by knocking against the lever j, thelatter is provided with a double bond at the point, where it passes overthe partition or wall in such a manner that the la ttcr when the vessel7) is tilted enters into the double bond of the lever That lever isprovuled with a bifurcated end and is connected to the diving body g bypins.

What I claim is:

in a ilush tank, the combination with a tilting vessel, of a partitionwall dividing said tilting vessel into a larger and smaller compartmentand allowing the admission of the water from the larger into the smallerconipart ment over its upper edge only and the direct discharge of thesmaller compartment simultaneously with that of the larger one, a valvecontrolling the water supply to the said larger (:(nnpartment, a doublearmed lever connected to the said valve and provided with two bends forreceiving the upper edge of the partition of the vessel when tilted, aweight connected to one end of the double armed lever, a diving body ofa volume or capacity relatively large in con'iparison to that of thesmaller compartment, connected to the other end of the lever,counteracting the weight and pending into said smaller con'ipartment ofthe divided tilting vessel for regulating the alter supply valveaccording to the height of the water in the smaller compartmentmentioned.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signedmy name in presence of two witnesses, this thirteenth day o'l November1.902).
